MUSIC: Further Email Exchanges about Music in One's Head

This is another email exchange on music I had with Beau, a person who I was a Peace Corps volunteer with in southern Africa. - OlderMusicGeek


BEAU:

I'm surprised by all the responses I got from the song in my head. Such good returns from the investment of just of a few silly lines! While we're on the subject, note that almost any Beatles song can be improved by using lunch instead of love.

All we need is lunch, yeah.
Lunch is all we need.

What's even more incredible is that it works with LeAnne Rimes too!

Some say Lunch, it is a Sandwich
with pickles, and Mayonnaise

ME:

A great way to annoy your children I found - is to throw their name in song wherever possible - especially a song they like...

(to Promiscuous Girl)
oh sloppy Jen
you're killing me
you know I want
a clean room's what you need

(to shut up and drive)
Go from 0 to 60 in three point five
Jen you got the rag
Now shut up and clean
(clean, clean, clean)
Shut up and clean
(clean, clean, clean)

MUSIC: Songs in One's Head

This is an email exchange between me and a person I was a Peace Corps volunteer with, who I'll call Beau, who I put on here before. - OlderMusicGeek

BEAU:

I've had a song in my head.

I don't normally watch 'American Idol' but it was on the other night and I was in the room and some guy was belting out a Doors song. That in itself wouldn't be so bad, but my wife's been after me to fill up the front right tire on her car which looks pretty low. She'd been bothering me day and night over that stupid tire, it's one of those 'shut up already!' things. Between that and the American Idol song, I have this thing in my head. It goes like this:

Come on baby check my tire.
The pressure needs to still go higher.
Do it be--fore we retire.
You said you would, don't be a liar.
Come on baby check my tire!

ME:

That's as bad as me coming up with commercials - thank the god for pop tunes that I do NOT work in advertising...

shout
shout
spray it all out
these are the stains we can do without
come one I'm washing with you
come in

And to sting's song...

free free
Pepsi free
if you dont need caffeine, call it's name
if you want less tension, you do the same
if you want keep blood pressure precious
you lock tension up and throw away the key
don't hold onto your colas
and just relax with me
if dont want caffeine, set it free
free, free pepsi free

Somebody save me!

BOOKS: Spam Poetry

This is from me, OlderMusicGeek, not a reprinted article.

Well, I'm still doing experimental poetry! But instead of subject lines from emails of pornographers, I just used the regular spam.

Shed It

Have you popped the bullet?
when does your modeling affect but develop
Got fungus?
have no blemish skin that evening
A Secret Lover is Trying to Get in Touch With You
You've got to see Maureen's Bonuses!
healthy looking skin but what is the reason today
slim down to a new pretty built
where is your balance and there is a change surely
Redhead Gets Stuffed eaten
fashion your torso this month
i'd never get through the gates
retain that baggage
Mom, did you get my last email?
grab me one of these too
Are you ready to rock?
Watch out for huge waves tomorrow
You won't believe this new yacht
We do it everyday
Your Friends Will EnvyYou
Introducing the all-new de-duper
I played with this for hours

Music That I've Enjoyed Recently

My Internet Radio Stations


This is a fairly good sampling of some of the music I listen to. It's missing a few genres I like - such as cajun. I'll work on that later. But it does contain most of my favorite artists. I tried to steer away from the better known songs to give you a better idea of what kind of music the artists play, but I was limited by the songs the website - Project Playlist - had available. But if you want to get an idea of what I listen to, just hit the play or arrow button. - OlderMusicGeek

The internet station that does the best of playing my music is Last.fm. Here's my station if you're interested.

This website, OlderMusicGeek Radio on Pandora.com, does a fairly decent job of playing what I like, although they do occasionally play stuff I don't care for, but overall they're pretty good.
